Hello, my car is dead quiet, this is due to a massive muffler that spans from just shy of touching one wheel to just shy of touching the other wheel, from there it leads into a 2nd muffler before going to the tip, I'm thinking of getting a 2 to 1 system 2.5 inch of piping to a small muffler to strait out. This is not a 'ricerboy' exuast and it wont sound like a monger moaning, it will just be a bit more gruntier and amplified-

The Case For:

My car has a V8 it would be nice for it to sound like one
VIP cars often have louder exhausts if I ever want to do it up like one, I won't regret my choice.
I'm getting sick of not hearing my engine at ANY time.
the tip and 2nd muffler are getting a bit ratty anyway.
Freeing up all that piping and removing the cats may give the old girl a bit more spring in her step.

The Case Against :

I get more comments about how quiet my car is more then anything elce.
It is a wonderis thing being on the highway at 130 and not hearing a sound.
Harder to stalk girls.

Oh yes and incase you don't know what I drive, here is a not so recent photo:

Straight through pipes plz.

But to be honest, unless you are going to actually do up your car I wouldn't do it. Either go for gold or not at all. Loud exhaust on stock car = not good

Removing the cats is a silly idea. It will screw up your fuelling and it will be too loud to live with I reckon.

I'd mabe go from manifold to back box but keep the back box standard. So have a straight through pipe with just the rear box and cat. That'll be a cheap enough solution to get you some rumble, and will be cheap enough to revert back to standard if you wish to sell.

My cars back box is good for 280bhp (200bhp standard) and I don't want a silly sounding car (Well I don't know if I do, I've been looking at the Buddy Club spec IV cat back system). But anyway, I'll probably end up doing all but a decat and back box change on my car. Spoon 4-2 + 2-1+ Spoon B-Pipe and keep the standard cat and rear box.

FFS, why make your car louder? Just to annoy everybody?

I think the streets are loud enough as it is mate.

    no, that's not what would happen. the cats have no bearing on fueling at all, the only sensors attributed to the cats are the o2 sensors, but those are post-cat and serve only to monitor engine efficiency and to trigger smog-protection faults. the fuel is already burned by then, so it would make no difference. removing the cats would net a loss of torque, but gain a few HP. your exhaust would smell pretty bad, and it would get a little raspy (unless you picked a good resonator), but it wouldn't really be that much louder.

    what i would do, personally, is to get some nice 4-2 headers and a 2-1 catch can, a high-flow cat, straight pipe it back through a nice resonator (and muffler if you want to keep the quiet still). you'll get a nice rumble and a nice noise at WOT, but for cruising and idling it'll be civilized.

    there wouldn't be any point in keeping the stock cat-back, that's the most restrictive part of the exhaust. total waste of money.

    		Do it.

    V8's should rumble like V8's. Quiet V8 is an unhappy V8. Also, what scully said.

    And if I had a camaro I would.

    Sadly I can only do mods that don?t insult the car.

    		I'm struggling with the same situation with my Caddy.
    There's something to be said for being powerful yet reserved, and monster V8 sedans carry that image awfully well -
    particularly black shiny ones like yours.

    I'd vote to keep it quiet - or at least quiet at idle and low throttle.
